MISCELLANEOUS.
Weather Proverbs Relating to
the Moon.

These are very numerous. Some
persons suppose that the character of
the weather can be foretold by the
hour of the day or night when the
changes of the moon occur. Others
think that a change of the moon on
Saturday is always followed by a
severe Storm and still others say
that ' a Fridays moon, come when
it will, comes too soon." Then,
again, it is said if the points of the
new moon are upward there will be
dry weather; while others take the
opposite view and say if they point
sideways it will be dry. But leaving
all these and many others like them,
there are 4 few proverbs about the
moon which may be worth noting and
testing. We give some Of these:
When the moon is visible in the
daytime the days. are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that
when the moon is near. the full it,
full moon eats clouds.
If the full moon rises clear expect,
fine weather.
A large ring around the moon and
low clouds indicate rain in twenty
four hours; a small ring and high
clouds rain in several days.
Last night the moon had golden
ring, but tonight no moon I see.
The larger the halo about the moon
the nearer the rain cloud, and the
sooner the rain may be expected.
When the moon is darkest near the
horizon expect rain. .....
If the full moon rise pale expect
rain.
A red moon indicates wind.
If the moon is seen between the
scud and broken clouds during a
gale it is expected to scud away the
bad weather.
In the old of the moon a cloudy
morning bodies a fair afternoon.
If there be a general mist before
sunrise near the full Of the moon, the
weather will be fine for several days.
The rising or setting of the moon
will be followed by decrease OF
storm which is then prevailing.

A Newspaper Complication.

Some interest is felt, among newspaper
men especially, in the final solution of a
complication which arose in Birmingham
several weeks ago, and of which the parties
Immediately interested are probably very
tired. The only morning paper of this
best advertised of towns, for several wears
past, has been the Age, which enjoyed
the exclusive use of the news furnished
by the New York Associated Press.
At the time mentioned, however, a now and
vigorous rival appeared in the field, the
Herald, the owners of which had a large
capital and had secured at considerable out
lay equal privileges with the Age in the
news service already alluded to- Here is
where the complication begins. The old
paper, believing it had right to
exclusive service, got out an injunction
to prevent the telegraph company from
delivering the dispatches to its rival and the
latter from receiving them. The Asso-
ciated Press, TO protect its franchise to the
Herald, Immediately withdrew its service
from the Age, and both papers were left in
the lurch. In an effort TO beat Off opposi-
ton the Age had seriously crippled itself
The Chancellor who granted the injunction
soon after went off on n summer jaunt,
leaving the warning newspapers to engage
in the trying business of ex-
perimenting as to the length
of time necessary to reach the bottom Of
their strong boxes in paying for special
service. while he forgets the cares Of the
world in catching mountain trout or listen
ing to the music Of the sad sea waves. 1t is
not his fight, nor his money which is being
so lavishly expended. BY the time he re-
turns to his duties both papers may be in
frame Of mind that will admit of compro-
misc or arbitration

Georpia,s Forest Wealth.

Two or three events of recent occurrence
have served to emphasize the opinion, long
held by thoughtful men, that measures
looking to the preservation of the forests of
the South, or their renewal, by planting as
they are removed to meet the
demands of commerce, should
not long be delayed. One
of these circumstances has been the pur-
chase by Western syndicate of lumbermen
of several hundred thousand acres of timber
lands in the mountains of North Georgia,
and by another company, headed by Mr..
jackson, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Maryland, of an even larger
stretch of territory in the pine belt of South
eastern Alabama. These lands are probably
destined to speedy denudation, as are many
thousand acres in Southern Georgia now in
the hands of lumber companies.
The effect of the destruction of the forests
is well shown in the recent experience of
several Georgia cities, which have been
damaged to the extent of many thousands
of dollars by swollen rivers, and of thou
sands of farmers, whose best lands have
been overflowded and crops destroyed.
rains to greater heights than before The
remedy for this great evil is said to be the
renewal of the forests.
1t is of course to be desired that Georgia's
lumber business shall increase, but the lum-
berman's ak should not leave desolation be-
hind, nor should improvident waste and
want of foresight exhaust in a few years a
source of wealth that should be perennial.
1t is matter of regret that so much of
the timber land of the State has passed and
is passing into the hands of residents of
other communities. Some Of the most inn
portant lumber industries are operated by
men who live in other parts of the country,
and only the working expenses, not the
profits, are left among us.
The most valuable timber lands remain
ing in Georgia are in the southern half of
the State, and over large part of this ter
ritory the title to land rests on the old head
right established in colonial days. The
records have in many instances been
carelessly kept, making it diff
cult to establish in many cases
an indisputable title, and giving opportu-
nifty to unprincipled men, by the use of
forged papers and other devices, to swindle
purchasers This practice has so clouded
the title to much timber land, as to
make it practically the booty of the
first man bold enough to seize
it and defend his claim in the
courts Perhaps the Legislature can find
a remedy for this evil 1t is important that
it should be remedied, as it is easy to I'M
derstand that land held by so uncertain
tenure will be made to yield the utmost
present profit, without reference to the
future.
